Why employ ferrite in my coil design?

The ferrite material captures all the stray magnetic field by offering a low resistance gateway.

Coils radiate magnetic fields that sometimes heat neighboring metallic fixtures orferrite core supports. This can be avoided by wrapping the outside of the induction coil with a ferrite material. The ferrite material captures all the stray magnetic field by offering a low resistance gateway. Since the magnetic field flows through the ferrite there is less tendency to heat surrounding metal pieces.
